I've created a Joomla menu as an 'external URL' type and I'm trying to use it to cause a specially filtered list of records to be displayed. This URL Filter works:
But ideally, instead of having to explicitly define the raw values of the field, I would prefer to filter based on the cooked value. In this case, the doc_type element should contain a string such as 'invoice' or 'statement'. In the example above, the raw values of 2 and 29 both carry the un-raw string of 'statement'. Since I may be adding additional records that may also carry the string 'statement', I would prefer to filter based on the un-raw value rather than having to update my menu link to include the new raw values each time a new document type is added. So, I would prefer that my filter look like this instead:
And I've also tried without placing the string 'statement' within quotes
However, I am getting various 500 errors when I've tried to use the preferred URL filter syntax. I've read the documentation examples several times. I think I could try to implement the 'sub-query' form of the URL filtering to get what I need but before I do that, I wanted to ask if there is something simple that I'm missing in the later syntax I'm trying.
Thanks!
